In several respects the latest gun control measure tends to weaken existing law by (a) exempting various forms of ammunition from federal control, (b) permitting certain movements of arms and ammunition to members of the National Rifle association and others for marksmanship contests and other purposes, and (c) permitting interstate purchases where a gun-owner claims that his weapon is inoperative or "lost*'. There were a total of eighty amendments offered to the gun control bill of which forty-seven received House approval. After careful scrutiny* it may be' that other amendments will have a further weakening effect on this Federal legislation. Two amendments offered by this member of Congress would have strengthened the federal legislation, namely: (1) An amendment to require the registration of handguns (pistols and revolvers) and (2) A proposal to encourage state statutes for the licensing of gun-owners. The amendment for registration of handguns took into account the fact that most sports- McCLORY REPORTS From Washington men use rifles and shotguns. These firearms were excluded from the registration requirement- The amendment was directed at revolvers and pistols, the weapons most frequently used in the commission of crimes of violence including burglaries, robberies and homicides. In the last four years sales of handguns have almost tripled, with many of these weapons reaching the hands of criminals and militant elements dedicated to violence and lawlessness. Most citizens of the nation, including many gun - owners appear to favor such legislation. In addition, the principle underlying handgun registration has the backing of the International Association of Chiefs of Police as well as the Director of the Federal bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover. In refusing to adopt this amendment, it would appear that the house of Representatives has merely delayedand not rejected - this move. A second amendment offered by this member of Congress would have required state legislatures to enact gun-owner licensing statutes in accordance with federal standards. This amendment was intended to prohibit purchases and possession of guns by (a) narcotic addicts, (b) alcoholics (c) criminals, (d) juveniles and, (e) other unfit or irresponsible persons. The amendment provided further that if states failed to act by Sept. 1, 1970, then the federal standards would apply within those states, and gun-owners would be required to apply for licenses through federal fire? arms' dealers. In refusing to- support amendement, a majority of House of Representatives aj>-. peared to act contrary to the position of most gun owners - including members of the National Rifle association - and also against the position of the major gun manufacturers. In presenting this amendment to the House of Representatives; this member called attention to a joint statement by the major gun manufacturers presentedto a Senate Subcommittee. The statement expressed support for "Firearm Owner's Licensing statutes to prevent the ownership and possession of firearms by unfit persons such as minors, criminals, mental incompetents, narcotic addicts, and alcoholics." Adoption of such an amendment would have encouraged all fifty states to pass gun-owner licensing statutes similar to those of the state of Illinois and of five or six other major states of the nation. The rejection of this amendment means that individuals within all but a few states may purchase and sell firearms (other than by mail order and across state lines), notwithstanding criminal records, incompetency or other conditions of unfitness or irresponsibility. Almost 20,000 deaths byprivately- owned firearms occurred in the United States last year and this record will probably be broken in 1968. The registration of handguns and the licensing of gun-owners will not end crime, and will not prevent all firearms from reaching the hands of criminals. Still, it seems certain that legislation of this type would produce greater safety for our law abiding citizens. It seems most likely that laws to require the licensing of gunowners -- to assure that only fit and responsible persons are permitted to purchase or own firearms -- will be enacted soon.

The primary difference is that -- while male baldness usually means permanent loss of hair due to heredity ~ hair loss in females is usually only a temporary problem brought about by some underlying condition s\ich as pregnancy, menopause, blood disease or an endocrine disorder.
